' Application filedMay 12,

The invention relates to safety attachments for bottles containingpoison or the like and has for one of its objects the provision of animproved safety attachment which indicates that the bottle to which itis attached cons tains poison or the like. Another object is theprovision of a safety attachment which isattachable to the bottle insuch a way that a'child. is not liable-t0 remove'the same. Furtherobjects of the invention reside in the novel features of Construction,as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings: I I

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bottle having applied thereto a safetyattachment embodying my invention;

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof;

Figure?) is a plan view of the safety attachment upon the completion ofthe first operation in the manufacture of the same.

1 is the bottle having the neck 2 with the annular bead 3 at its upperend. 4 is the cork insertable within the neck. 5 is the safetyattachment detachably engageable with the bottle and comprising the body6 which extends over the cork and the down- 7 turned resilient arms 7having at their lower ends the inturned portions 9 engageable with theunderside of the bead 3 and terminating in the return-bent end portions10 which extendadjacent to and preferably contact with the neck 2. 11 isa member extending upwardly from the body 6 and preferably shaped toserve as a warning that the bottle contains poison or the like,

The safety attachment 5 is preferably stamped from a sheet metal blankand'as shown in Figure .8, the body 6, arms 7, and member 11 are in thesame plane, with the 40 arms and member extending from the edge of thebody, upon the completion of the first operation in the manufacture. Themember. is subsequently bent to extend upwardly from the body 6 and thearms are subsequent- 1y bent to extend downwardly from the body and havethe inwardly extending portions as well as the returnbent portions, v

1924. Serial No. 712,677.

The arms of the safety attachment maybe readily sprung over the bead 3and into engagement with the neck 2 below the beach The return-bent endsform thumb portions permitting of springing the arms outwardly to removethe attachment. The arrangement is such that a-child would ordinarilyfail to'detach the safety attachment, because this safety attachmentcanbe removed only by springing the arms outwardly and then .moving thesafety attachment bodily away from the bottle.

What I claim as my invention is: i

1. The combination with a bottle having a neck-with abead at its upperend and a cork V insertable within said neck, of a stamping comprisingabody extending over said cork,

downturned resilient arms' projecting from the periphery of the saidbody and having a snap engagement with said neck below said bead, and anupturned member projecting from the periphery of the said body andbearing insignia to denote danger.

2. The combination with a bottle having a neck with a bead-at its upperend and a cork insertable within said neck, of a stamping comprising abody extendingover said cork, downturned resilient arms projecting fromthe said body and engageable with said neck having means at theirlowerends for hinder- 1119; the removal of said stamping when encounteringsaid bead, and an'upturned member projectingfrom the periphery of thesaid body representing a skull and crossbones.

3. A safety attachment for bottles comprising a stamping having acircular body portion and aplurality of projections ex tending radiallytherefrom, one of the said projections being bent upwardly to form awarning member and the remaining projections being bent downwardly toform arms resiliently engageable with thebottle. I

In testimony whereofI affix my signature.
